Not sure if this helps but I watch mine split screen, on both my phone and tablet

If you are monitoring your camera devices then motion detection is deactivated and you would have to manually record any event. If you are monitoring split screen I guess you have more than one feed so if you feel it necessary to constantly monitor your camera just consider monitoring one and leave the other to do the motion detection. @nicoleshort5280

Yes for the most part you’re correct however there have been several occasions where i caught something on camera in one feed but it didn’t record on another. The reason I have them set up is because I have had ppl show up with weapons so I rely on watching the live feed. If the motion sensor was able to open and turn on my camera when it detected something that would be different but it doesn’t.
